The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has quizzed the immediate-past governor of Ekiti State, Mr Kayode Fayemi, over alleged misappropriation
But, responding, Fayemi, through his legal counsel, Adeola Omotunde, in a letter dated May 15, said he was one of the organisers and reviewer of one of the books published in former President Buhari’s honour.
Part of Fayemi’s letter reads: “Our client is in receipt of your letter of invitation dated 12th May 2023 for an appointment on Thursday, 18th of May, 2023. “Our client is engaged on the 18th day of May 2023 as he is preparing for a public presentation and launching of two new books in honour of President Muhammadu Buhari, titled: ‘State of Repair: How President Muhammad Buhari Tried to Change Nigeria For Good’ by Anthony Goldman and ‘The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari’ by Abu Ibrahim slated for 19th May 2023 at the Banquet Hall, State House, Abuja by 10:00 a.m.
“Our client is one of the organisers of the programme and will review one of the books. Our client has also committed himself to other programs between May 19, 2023 and May 24, 2023 before he received your invitation. We regret to inform you that our client will not be able to honour your invitation on the 18th May 2023 against the backdrop of the foregoing information.”
Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, however, said he would get back to our Correspondent on the development.
